Alex Gordon And Batting First

Spring Training is just around the corner and that means we’ve reached the time of year where fans and writers start speculating about the batting order. Pete Grathoff has kicked thing off at the Kansas City Star.
It’s an interesting read if only for the fact that Pete apparently thinks there are people who want Alex Gordon to hit fifth. 51 doubles or not, I don’t really believe there’s anyone who wants him to bat that far down in the lineup.
